Chapters 35 and 36 involve the topic of agency law. These chapters discuss the differences between employees and independent contractors. Note that the textbook also uses the term non-employee agents in place of independent contractors.
For this week’s discussion board assignment, please address the following questions:
- Why is it important to distinguish between an employee and an independent contractor?
- Do you think an employer should be liable for the torts of another person it hired regardless of whether that person is considered an employee or an independent contractor?
